PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

For more than 30 years, the beloved MY LITTLE PONY franchise from Hasbro, Inc. (HAS) has inspired friendship and fun in the hearts of fans around the globe. The franchise has become a pop-culture phenomenon through its socially relevant messages of kindness and acceptance. To commemorate this year’s International Day of Friendship on July 30th, the MY LITTLE PONY franchise is igniting a global social movement that empowers consumers to celebrate the magic of friendship through random acts, encouraging others to “friend it forward.”

“The power of friendship is at the heart of the MY LITTLE PONY brand,” said Samantha Lomow, Senior Vice President, Hasbro Brands. “We’re inspired by the kindness of our fans each day and want to amplify their good will with a call to action campaign that will remind people around the world that all it takes is one small gesture to be a friend.” Best friends and sisters, Vanessa Hudgens and Stella Hudgens, are teaming up with the MY LITTLE PONY brand to help celebrate the magic of friendship and will be performing acts of friendship in their own communities and inspiring others to “friend it forward.”

The MY LITTLE PONY brand will kick off the celebration with fans at Comic-Con International: San Diego on July 21st by inviting those in attendance to make an official pledge to “friend it forward” at the Hasbro booth #3213. Hasbro will also distribute special MY LITTLE PONY tokens of friendship to reward kind acts throughout the convention. Recipients are then encouraged to “friend it forward” to keep the momentum going.
